January 13, 2017 The Monocacy Monocle Page 3 Town Government Takeover of County Roads and Buyout Of Cellphone Tower Leases Discussed By Link Hoewing The Town of Poolesville commissioners heard a report on December 19 from Town Manager Wade Yost about a proposal to “take over” ownership and main- tenance of certain county roads in town, particularly sections of Hughes and West Willard Roads and Westerly Avenue. Yost explained that the county, unlike the state, is willing to cede ownership but is unwilling to do anything to upgrade or improve the roads before they would be transferred to the town. The roads are so poorly maintained that they would have to be completely resurfaced within five years of any takeover, and the total costs could come in at around $1.3 million. The commissioners noted the extremely high costs and deferred a decision. They asked the Parks and Streets Board to review the roads and their conditions and recom- mend priorities for repairs. They also pointed out that if the situation regarding the proposed takeover of Fisher Avenue from the state is clarified, that would help in determining whether to seriously consider a takeover of the identified county roads. Finally, the commissioners reviewed a set of proposals for a buyout of the exist- ing leases of the town’s water tower by cellphone companies. The issue had been discussed at a previous commission meeting and it was noted then that factors such as technological change (which could make the cellphone facilities on the water tower obsolete and push the cellphone companies to cancel the leases) and the Call or Text Brian Jamison To Sell need for major infusions of cash in the near future for possible projects have con- Your Home Today 301-788-8817 vinced some local governments to sign lease buyouts. In these buyouts, companies pay a lump sum of cash to the governments in exchange for taking over the reve- nues from the cellphone lease agreements which usually pay out over many years. 19939 Fisher Avenue In the discussion surrounding the proposed lease buyouts, it was pointed out Poolesville, MD 20837 that all bidders proposed to pay the town a lump sum of between $2.4 million Broker/Office-301-428-8200 and $2.7 million in exchange for ownership of the leases for between thirty and fifty years. The four leases from the major cellphone carriers have twenty years to run and total payments would be around $5.7 million and these payments would go to the lease buyout companies. After extensive discussion about the likelihood of technology changing and affecting the leases, the need for short-term capital, and the merits of the submit- St. Mary’s Catholic Church ted proposals, the commissioners decided that the idea might have merit but that Barnesville, MD there is currently no real need to push forward with the idea.

  • ARE YOU READY to VOTE in PERSON on ELECTION DAY? Montgomery County Will Open 39 Election Day Vote Centers on November 3, 2020, from 7 A.M
    ARE YOU READY TO VOTE IN PERSON ON ELECTION DAY? Montgomery County will open 39 Election Day Vote Centers on November 3, 2020, from 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. On Election Day you may vote at any one of Montgomery County’s 39 Election Day Vote Centers. Most polling places will be closed due to the pandemic. Instead, you may vote at any vote center. Same-day registration is available with proof of residency. Due to the pandemic, we will limit the number of people inside vote centers at one time and distance voting booths at least six feet apart. This will result in longer lines and wait times. For the closest Election Day vote center and wait-times, text VC plus your ZIP code to 77788 (Example: VC 20879). Maryland's voting system offers features for accessibility. Please ask the Election Judge about your options. Before you are given a ballot, an Election Judge will tell you, "You have two ways to mark your ballot - either by hand or with the electronic device. Which do you prefer?" You will choose how to mark your ballot. If you requested a ballot by mail, please vote that ballot. There will be a drop box at every in- person voting center, so you can skip the line and drop off your ballot. For additional drop boxes near you, text BOX plus your ZIP code to 77788 (Example: BOX 20879). You may not “trade in” your by-mail ballot at a vote center. If you requested a ballot by mail and try to vote in person, you will need to apply for a provisional ballot, which adds time to your voting experience.
